A drool-worthy baby kit

Nina already blogged about our Little Bubbles Baby Set, but I thought I would share my experience photographing it on my 3 month old yesterday because it is so entertaining. We needed a modeled picture of the pinks set for banner ads, and the sample was knit in the 0-6 month size, so it was Alice's big break into modeling. The sweater and hat fit her perfectly (the booties were a tad too small for her long feet), so I figured that the photos would be a piece of cake, assuming she didn't spit up on the sweater. Wrong!

For every photo I took like this...

...I took nine like this...

...or this...

...or this:

Of course, from a parental perspective all of these are adorable, but the majority of them don't show off the sweater well! At 3 months old, Alice lives what I call a "hand to mouth existence", if you know what I mean. I now have so much more respect for baby photographers--keeping the sweater out of her mouth was a real workout!

And just in case you're wondering, I did wash the sweater before returning the sample to work. I threw it in the washer and dryer with the rest of my baby laundry and it came out good as new. Gotta love Comfy!

"This sweater is delicious enough to eat!"

Thanks for sharing Melissa!

Comment by cellogirl on May 20, 2009 at 5:50am: Fabulous pictures--the Grandma in me prefers the last three pics, also!! I think that it's so special that the KP staff and families are the models for the catalog--it makes it so much more meaningful for us!! And, we get to see the growing progress of all our surragate grandchildren!! Thanks for sharing--

Comment by Teish on May 19, 2009 at 6:00pm: Your daughter is a little sweetie! Maybe my daughter is right, she keeps saying that she needs a "sister-baby". In any case, I MUST find a baby to knit this set for! Maybe three so that I can try out each colorway!!!
